The play is based on a sensitive issue; the dilemmas of the offspring of the Biranganas (war heroines) and the assimilation of the children of the Pakistani collaborators into the society after the Liberation War.
The probable cast of the play includes Mohammad Bari, Ferdous Amin Biplob, Selim Mahbub, Chandan Reza, Prashanta Halder and others.
